Most AI estimating tools need architectural drawings to work. PricingPro doesn't — and that changes everything.
Describe the job in plain English and get a full estimate. Upload drawings if you have them — but most contractors on site don't. Unlike Kreo, Togal, and STACK, PricingPro works either way.
Our AI doesn't just read drawings — it understands what jobs actually cost to build, learned from tens of thousands of real UK construction projects. That's job intelligence, not image recognition.
Takeoff tools stop at the estimate. PricingPro takes you from estimate to client acceptance to purchase order to job sheet — the full contractor workflow in one place.
Asking ChatGPT or Claude to price a job seems quick. But four things break the moment you try to run a real estimating workflow on raw AI output — and they compound.
Material costs and labour rates change every week. PricingPro estimates re-price automatically when supplier prices move or your rates change. Raw AI output is frozen the second it's generated — on a six-month project, that gap is the difference between margin and a loss.
When a client asks "why 1,650 bricks?", PricingPro shows the working: wall length × course height × bricks per m². With raw AI, the only answer is "the chatbot said so" — which doesn't hold up in a final account dispute or a variation conversation.
Run the same job description through ChatGPT twice and you get two different line structures and two different totals. Run it through PricingPro and the answer is identical, every time. Estimating needs determinism — not creative writing.
PricingPro runs one AI pass per estimate, then every edit after that is instant. Tweak a quantity, swap a material, adjust margin — no waiting, no re-running the model, no compounding API cost. Generic AI charges you again on every edit.
Three steps. A few minutes. Accurate to within 4%.
Type a plain-English description of the work, upload floor plans or drawings, or import a bill of quantities — all three work. No drawings? Just describe the job. Have plans? Upload them for even greater detail.
PricingPro queries live material prices across your preferred suppliers and applies your labour rates and margin rules instantly.
Export a branded PDF estimate, send directly to the client, and convert to a purchase order or job sheet with one click.
